Confirmed with Link: RIP Wordmark: Vancouver's uniforms have been modified for 2019-20 (leaked, then confirmed)

[CJZizzari]

Should the canucks tweak the jersey they have ie getting rid of the lettering or go for an entirely new design? They have history of identity issues with the wide and disparate jerseys they've had. What do you guys think?



--------

MOD INSERT:

Chris Creamer confirms an alleged leak of a new uniform posted to r/hockeyjerseys and Twitter on May 28th is legitimate. The "VANCOUVER" wordmark is gone, and the shoulder patches are now white.

Thanks for nothing, wordmark. You will not be missed.

I say keep the colour scheme but do away with the orca. It’s a pretty lame logo when you think about it. Bring on Johnny Canuck!

 

[TruKnyte]

Just get rid of the "Vancouver" above the Orca. We've had enough major jersey changes already.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I’d just leave the current uniforms at this point. Have some fun with alternate jerseys or, even better, wear some of their vintage ones throughout the seasons. But keep the current set.

just take the vancouver "wordmark" out, problem solved

I think the current theme works well but I'd like to see some tweaks. The current color scheme is fine and the idea behind the logo is great (Haida style) but updating it would be nice. Something like how the Jacksonville Jaguars tweaked their logo a few years back.

From this:

To this:

Adding some kind of new style black jersey would be sweet too. Black jerseys are always awesome.

Minor tweeks. Just delete the wordmark and change the goofy-ass lettering and numbers back to a hockey font

This.

The wordmark was a marketing gimmick to sell ‘Vancouver’-branded stuff in the run-up to the 2010 Olympics. That was a decade ago. Get rid of it.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Ditch the orca forever.

Weird, why would the Jags do such a minor overhaul? I guess the revised version is better.

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

Let’s hope they don’t use the same design agency who created the 50th anniversary logo. Wow is that horrendous.

 

[Zombotron]

Count me in for minor tweaks including getting rid of the wordmark and maybe revisions to the logo in the vein of what @Slads is suggesting. We've had the same logo for 22 years and the same colourway for 12. Keep them.

 

[Canucks LB]

I honestly hope it’s a completely new design, same colour scheme is fine

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

Weird, why would the Jags do such a minor overhaul? I guess the revised version is better.

Its basically updating it to keep in line with their history but making it more contemporary. Would love the Canucks to use a firm like the one who did the Jags’ update. Seems like they maybe use a cut-price in-house team?

 

[Kryten]

Imagine the orca logo redone like the Senators 3D logo change. Shudders

 

[MikeK]

Might be against the grain here but I have never liked the Orca. I can flat out say I hate it. I would totally be onboard with any change from that.

 

[Zombotron]

I imagine any changes would be debuted on draft day

There’s rumblings from icethletics that there will be a new primary jersey. That could mean just removing the word mark.

What we do know : for next year

Brand new third jersey
Black skate logo to be worn multiple times

Icethletics says new primary.

What I think happens?

Tweaks to the current jersey. Hopefully the word mark. I refuse to buy a New Jersey until that horrendous amateur looking wordmark is gone. Listening aqua?

My wish? Updated stick and rink ( Similar to the recent third jersey) for home and away. Put an orca patch on the shoulder.

Done

If they went back full road and home to stick I would buy both.

 

[sabremike]

My question: do you think the league will have enough common sense to have us and you guys open up the season against each other because of the 50th anniversaries?

Probably not. I say this because we usually open vs a division team. Usually Calgary or Edmonton

I'm probably in the minority, but to me there's nothing about a stick in a rink that signifies Vancouver, or even BC. It's a generic idea for a generic hockey team. I'm probably in the minority again in thinking the current branding is the right direction (it just needs to be more aesthetically pleasing). It signifies the team's location and its identity.
Blue and green = forests meeting the Pacific Ocean
First Nations Art = historical nod to the area's first inhabitants/totems in Stanley Park/Bill Reid's sculpture in YVR/Museum of Anthropology
Orca = fierce, incredibly intelligent, always stick together with a core group that's particularly strong/native to the area

I like the Orca as well. Just get rid of the wordmark and keep the same colour scheme.

Winner.

 

[Cupless44]

The wordmark has to go no question. We are the only team that has it and it looks stupid.

I would settle for that but wouldn’t mind seeing what a cool looking Johnny Canuck would be like.

Same colours.
